DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
Installation Requirements
In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the
Router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information (Username
and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet
connection will be required. You can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this
information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to setup the Router. If it
is necessary to reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be
sure to keep this information safe and private.
Low Pass Filters
Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals,
a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can
be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to
install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone
cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your
installation.
Operating Systems
The DSL-502T uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web
configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web
browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration
management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers
such as Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 4.7, or later
versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on
many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus
protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the
Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be
equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet
port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet
NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must
install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must install an adapter,
follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the
Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the device as a simple bridge. For a
bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored
on another computer or gateway device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or Static IP connection, the information
needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case,
it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change
some settings in the device, including account information used to identify and verify the
connection.

be used to configure a PPPoE/PPPoA connection type.
You may need to specify one of the following
connection types (PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA
VC-MUX). The other available connection and
encapsulation combinations must be configured using
the web manager. These include Bridge Mode (1483
Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC-MUX), and
Static IP (Bridged IP LLC, 1483 Bridged IP VC-MUX,
1483 Routed IP LLC, 1483 Routed IP VC-MUX or
IPoA).
VPI
Most users will not be required to change this setting.
The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction
with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify
the data path between your ADSL service provider’s
network and your computer. If you are setting up the
Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need
to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your
ADSL service provider for the additional connections.
This setting can be changed in the WAN menu of the
web management interface.
VCI
Most users will not be required to change this setting.
The Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) used in
conjunction with the VPI to identify the data path

Introduction
This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associated technologies and a list of
Router features.
Router Description and Operation
The DSL-502T Router is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection
for a private Ethernet network. The Router combines high-speed ADSL Internet connection, IP
routing management for the LAN in one package.
The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-502T connects to an Ethernet LAN or computers via
standard Ethernet ports. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary telephone line with standard
connectors. Multiple workstations can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single
Wide Area Network (WAN) interface and single global IP address. The advanced security
enhancements, packet filtering and port redirection, can help protect your network from potentially
devastating intrusions by malicious agents from outside your network.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband network technology that utilizes
standard twisted-pair copper wire telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data
transmission and bandwidth hungry applications for business and residential customers.
ADSL routers and modems provide faster downloads and more reliable connectivity to the user
without loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL service operates at speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream. A
secure dedicated point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central office of
the service provider.

DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
Router Features
The DSL-502T ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet
portal suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-502T advantages include:
•
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The DSL-502T ADSL Router supports PAP
(Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
for PPP connections.
•
DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns
all LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every
host whenever changes in network topology occur.
•
Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the DSL-502T allows
multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet
account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.
NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and
visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-toLAN connection.
•
TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The DSL-502T supports TCP/IP
protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured
by major vendors.
•
RIP-1/RIP-2 – The DSL-502T supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers.
Using both versions lets the Router to communicate with all RIP enabled devices.
•
Static Routing – This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that
will remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific route that
will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific destination within your LAN (for
example to another router or a server) or outside your network (to an ISP defined default
gateway for instance).
•
Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for
which the destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when/if the Router
functions as the sole connection to the Internet.
•
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) – The DSL-502T supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM
(RFC1483), IP over ATM (RFC1577) and PPP over ATM (RFC 2364).
•
Precise ATM Traffic Shaping – Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM
data cells. This function helps to establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.
•
G.hs (Auto-handshake) – This allows the Router to automatically choose either the G.lite or
G.dmt ADSL connection standards.
•
High Performance – Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 8
Mbps downstream bit rate using the G.dmt standard.
•
Full Network Management – The DSL-502T incorporates SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) support for web-based management and text-based network
management via an RS-232 or Telnet connection.
•
Telnet Connection – The Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’s
management software remotely.
•
Easy Installation – The DSL-502T uses a web-based graphical user interface program for
convenient management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be
used to manage the Router.

Hardware Installation
The DSL-502T maintains three separate interfaces, an Ethernet, a USB and an ADSL interface.
Place the Router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a
power source. The Router should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive
heat. Make sure the cables and power cord are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a
tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety procedures.
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED
indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.
Power on Router
CAUTION: The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
To power on the Router:
1.
Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the
Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby power source.
2.
You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light
solid green and begin to blink after a few seconds.
3.
If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the Ethernet Link/Act LED
indicators to make sure the connection is valid. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL
connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the Router is properly configured this should light
up after several seconds. If this is the first time installing the device, some settings may need
to be changed before the Router can establish a connection.
Factory Reset Button
The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by depressing the reset button for
a few seconds while the device is powered on. Use a ballpoint or paperclip to gently push down the
reset button. Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including user
account information and LAN IP settings. The device settings will be restored to the factory default
IP address 10.1.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0, the default management Username is
admin and the default Password is admin.
Network Connections
Network connections are provided through the ADSL port, the Ethernet port and the USB port on
the back of the Router. See the Rear Panel diagram above and the illustrations below for examples.
See Installing the USB Driver above for a description of the USB driver installation procedure.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle.
Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and
insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the
instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection
6
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
represents the WAN interface, the connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service
provider’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10/100 BASETX Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a
switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any
Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds between 0~100Mbps, be sure that the
device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.
Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed
port (MDI-X). Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make
this connection. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a normal straightthrough cable. You should use a crossed cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X)
port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDIII) port on a hub or switch.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the
cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 metres.
Hub or Switch to Router Connection
Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through
cable as shown in the diagram below:
If you wish to reserve the uplink port on
the switch or hub for another device,
connect to any on the other MDI-X ports
(1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.
Computer to Router Connection
You can connect the Router
directly to a 10/100BASE-TX
Ethernet adapter card (NIC)
installed on a PC using the
Ethernet cable provided as
shown in this diagram.

Basic Router Configuration
The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection
using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to
the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly, you may continue to make changes to
Router configuration including IP settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with using
your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various
menus used to configure and monitor the Router including how to change IP settings and DHCP
server setup.
Wan Configuration Summary
1.
Connect to the Router To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first
necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is
HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management
software your computer must be able to “see” the Router. Your computer can see the
Router if it is in the same “neighborhood” or subnet as the Router. This is accomplished by
making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router.
The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to
use the DHCP server in the Router. The next section describes how to change the IP
configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.
2.
Configure the WAN Connection Once you are able to access the configuration software
you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and
connect to the service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish
the connection to the service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should
know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL
service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL
connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to configure
the WAN connection.
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the
TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has
TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for
standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to
automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step
description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the
TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the
protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Router.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that
configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be
a DHCP client.
Note
If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you
can use these instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers.
However, you cannot use the same IP address since every computer must have its own
IP address that is unique on the local network.

Multiple Private Virtual Connections
The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations
can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC
connections can be added for various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private
connection to remote office in order to create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate
connection. Provisioning for additional PVC profiles must be done through your telecommunications
services provider. Extended LAN operations employing multiple virtual connections require ADSL
routers or modems at the remote site for a successful connection. Contact your ISP or
telecommunications service provider if you are interested in setting up multiple virtual connections.
After the necessary arrangements have been made to use the Router with multiple virtual
connections, follow the instructions below to setup the Router using the VPI/VCI settings given to
you by your server provider.

LAN interface. DHCP service will
supply
IP
settings
to
workstations
configured
to
automatically obtain IP settings
that are connected to the Router
though the Ethernet port. When
the Router is used for DHCP it
becomes the default gateway for

The IP Address Pool settings can be adjusted. The Starting IP Address is the lowest available IP
address (default = 10.1.1.2). If you change the IP address of the Router this will change
automatically to be 1 more that the IP address of the Router. The Ending IP Address is the
highest IP address number in the pool. Type in the Lease Time in the entry field provided. This is
the amount of time in seconds that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP address in the pool if
the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.

Note
To use DHCP Relay from the ISP,
DHCP Service Filtering must be
disabled. See the Firewall section in
the next chapter.
DNS Server Settings
The Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another available service to
workstations on your LAN. When using DNS relay, the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts
on the LAN and forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. DNS relay can use auto
discovery or the DNS IP address can be manually entered by the user. Alternatively, you may also
disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users who
are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS servers on the ISP’s network,
will leave DNS relay enabled (either auto discovery of user configured).
Configure DNS Settings
In the DNS Relay Selection pull-down menu, choose to Use Auto Discovery, Use User Configured or
Disable DNS relay.
If you have not been given specific DNS server IP addresses or if the Router is not pre-configured
with DNS server information, select the Auto Discover option for DNS relay. Auto discovery DNS
instructs the Router to automatically obtain the DNS IP address from the ISP through DHCP. If
your WAN connection uses a Static IP address, auto discovery for DNS cannot be used.
If you have DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP, enter these IP addresses in the available entry
fields for the Preferred DNS Server and the Alternative DNS Server.
If you choose to disable DNS relay, it will be necessary to configure DNS settings for hosts on the
LAN since they will not be depending on the Router to forward the DNS requests.
When you have configured the DNS settings as desired, click the Apply button.
Note
To use DNS Relay for computers on your local network, DNS Service
Filtering must be disabled. See the Firewall section in the next chapter.

UPnP
UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked
devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network,
obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other
devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows
supported devices to leave a network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other
devices on the network.
UPnP can be supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, Firewire, phone line and
power line networking.
Enable UPnP Menu
To enable UPnP for any available connection, click to check the Enable UPnP selection box, select

Port Forwarding
Use the Port Forwarding menu to create Virtual Server functions through the Router. A Virtual
Server can allow remote users to access services on your LAN such as FTP for file transfers or
SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The DSL-502T will accept remote requests for these services at your
Global IP Address, using the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and then redirect
these requests to the server on your LAN with the Private IP address you specify. Remember that
the Private IP Address must be within the range specified for your LAN.
The Virtual Server feature employs UDP/TCP port redirection to direct traffic through the WAN port
to specified servers on your private network. Port redirection can also be used to direct potentially
hazardous packets to a proxy server outside your firewall. For example, you can configure the
Router to direct HTTP packets to a designated HTTP server in the DMZ. You can define a set of
instructions for a specific incoming port or for a range of incoming ports. Each instruction set or
rule is indexed and can be modified or deleted later as needed.
Virtual server configuration sets can be used together with complimentary features such as Firewall
Rules, DMZ devices and IP Filters to improve efficiency and security. Consider how these other
functions will effect the virtual server sets you have configured and enabled.
The table below describes the configuration settings presented in the Virtual Server menu.
Virtual Server Menu and List
To modify virtual server settings for any previously created virtual server set listed, click on the
note pad icon in the right hand column of the Virtual Servers List for the set you want to
configure. The set will appear highlighted in the list and the parameters that have been configured
appear in the settings fields above the list. Adjust the settings as desired and click the Apply
button to put them into effect.
32
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
To configure a virtual server set, define the following settings in the Virtual Server configuration
menu located in the top half of the browser window.
Parameter
Description
Rule Name
Provide a name for the rule. This name will not appear in the list below,
however it may be useful if you later need to edit the settings for the rule.
Rule names are optional.
Private IP
This is the IP address of the server on your LAN that will provide the
service to remote users. The Private IP address is used to direct the service
to a specific computer on your private network such as an FTP, Email or
public web server. Type in the IP address of the server used for the service
being configured here.
Protocol
You can select the transport protocol (TCP or UDP) that the application on
the virtual server will use for its connections. Select one of the following
options from the pull-down menu to define a TCP, UDP or Both. The choice
of this protocol is dependent on the application that is providing the
service. If you do not know which protocol to choose, check your
application’s documentation.
Port Start/Port
End
Configure a range of ports for forwarding. Type the lowest numbered port
in the range in the Port Start space. Type the highest numbered port in the
Port End space. For a single port, just enter the same number in both
spaces.
Virtual server port redirection must be used with a specified server or
computer on the LAN (identified by the Private IP address).
Port Map
This is the local port being forwarded to from the Port Start/Port End
port(s). Keep in mind that if you use a non-standard port number for an
application with a reserved UDP/TCP port, some additional configuration
may be required for the servers or workstations using the application on
the LAN side.
Click the Apply button to put the new virtual server configuration set or modification into effect.
Any server sets configured in the menu will appear in the Virtual Server List with the new settings.
The Router must save the new settings and reboot before the new virtual server configurations are
applied.
To remove any configuration set from the Virtual Server List, click on the trashcan icon for set you
want to delete.
Note
Some applications require multiple TCP or UDP ports to function properly.
Applications such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony
are some examples of applications that often require multiple connections. These
applications often conflict with NAT, and therefore require special handling. See the
discussion of DMZ configuration below.
33
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
DMZ
Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP address
for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will therefore be visible to
agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that any client PC in the DMZ
will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take measures (such as
client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on your LAN from possible
contamination through the DMZ.
DMZ IP address configuration
To designate a DMZ IP address, type in the IP Address of the server or device on your LAN, select
the Enabled radio button and click the Apply button. To remove DMZ status from the designated
IP address, select the Disabled radio button and click Apply. It will be necessary to save the
settings and reboot the Router before the DMZ is activated.
34

Filters
Filter rules in the Router are put in place to allow or block specified traffic. The Filter Rules however
can be used in a single direction to examine and then Allow or Deny traffic for Inbound (WAN to
LAN) or Outbound (LAN to WAN) routed data. The rules based on IP address and TCP/UDP port.
Configure the filter rules as desired and click the Apply button to create the rule. The newly
created rule appears listed in the Outbound Filter List at the bottom of the menu. The table below
describes the various parameters that are configured for the filter rules.

To modify any previously created filter rule, click on the note pad icon in the right hand column of
the Filter List for the set you want to configure. Adjust the settings as desired and click the Apply
button to put the new settings into effect.
First determine the direction of the traffic you want the rule to filter. To filter WAN to LAN traffic,
select the Inbound Filter option. Any new Inbound Filter rules created will appear in the list.
Likewise, should you to filter LAN to WAN traffic, create an Outbound Filter rule.
Note
The Service Filtering feature of the Firewall may interfere rules configured
in the Filters menu. For example, FTP packets are not allowed through
from the external network by default. See the Firewall section below for
details.
35
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
The parameters described below are used to set up filter rules.
Parameter
Description
Source IP
For an Outbound Filter, this is the IP address or IP addresses on your LAN
for which you are creating the filter rule. For an Inbound Filter, this is the
IP address or IP addresses for which you are creating the filter rule. You
can opt to indicate a Mask Range, a Single IP, an IP Range or Any IP from
the pull-down menu. Choosing Any IP will apply the rule to all WAN or all
LAN IP addresses depending on which type of rule (Inbound or Outbound)
is being configured.

When DoS, Port Scan, or Service Filtering Protection is enabled, it will create a firewall policy to
protect your network against the following:
Dos Protection
Port Scan Protection
Service Filtering
SYN Flood check
Nmap/FIN attack
Ping from WAN
ICMP Redirection check
URG/PSH attack
Telnet from WAN
Xmas Tree Scan
FTP from WAN
Null Scan attack
DNS from WAN
SYN/RST attack
IKE from WAN
SYN/FIN Scan
RIP from WAN
DHCP from WAN
37
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
A DoS "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent
legitimate users of a service from using that service. Examples include: attempts to "flood" a
network, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic, attempts to disrupt connections between
two machines, thereby preventing access to a service, attempts to prevent a particular individual
from accessing a service, or, attempts to disrupt service to a specific system or person.
Port scan protection is designed to block attempts to discover vulnerable ports or services that
might be exploited in an attack from the WAN.
The Service Filtering options allow you to block FTP, Telnet response, Pings, etc, from the external
network. Check the category you want to block to enable filtering of that type of packet.
When you have selected the desired Firewall policies, click the Apply button to enforce the policies.
Remember to save any configuration changes.
NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) may be disabled on the Router. This should only be disabled if
there are specific reasons to do so. When NAT is disabled on the Router it is not possible to allow
more that one computer or server (any single IP address on the LAN) to access the Internet unless
some form of NAT is provided by another system.
NAT can be enabled or disabled system-wide. If you are using multiple connections (Multiple PVCs)
the status of NAT will be the same for all IP routed connections.

IP Address Setup
The DSL-502T is designed to provide network administrators maximum flexibility for IP addressing
on the Ethernet LAN. The easiest IP setup choice in most cases is to let the Router do it using
DHCP, which is enabled by default. This appendix briefly describes various options including DHCP,
used for IP setup on a LAN. If you are new to IP networking, the next appendix provides some
background information on basic IP concepts.
Assigning Network IP Addresses
The IP address settings, which include the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address are
the first and most important internal network settings that need to be configured. The Router is
assigned a default LAN IP address and subnet mask. If you do not have a preexisting IP network
and are setting one up now, using the factory default IP address settings can greatly ease the
setup process. If you already have a preexisting IP network, you can adjust the IP settings for the
Router to fit within your existing scheme.
Using the Default IP Address
The Router is shipped with a preset default IP address setting of 10.1.1.1 for the LAN port. There
are two ways to use this default IP address, you can manually assign an IP address and subnet
mask for each PC on the LAN or you can instruct the Router to automatically assign them using
DHCP. The simplest method is to use DHCP. The DHCP function is active by default.
Manual IP Address Assignment
Manually configuring IP settings for the LAN means you must manually set an IP address, subnet
mask and IP address of the default gateway (the Router’s IP address) on each networked
computer. The example listed below describes IP configuration for computers running Windows 95
or Windows 98. Regardless of what operating system is used on each workstation, the three
network IP settings must be defined so the network interface used by each workstation can be
identified by the Router, and vice versa. For detailed information about configuring your
workstations IP settings, consult the user’s guide included with the operating system or the
network interface card (NIC).
1.
In Windows 95/98, click on the Start button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.
2.
In the window that opens, double-click on the Network icon.
3.
Under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP component and click Properties.
4.
Choose the Specify an IP address option and edit the address settings accordingly. Consult the
table below for IP settings on a Class C network.

IP Setup - Example #1
Please note that when using the default IP address as in the above example, the first number in
the IP address must always be the same with only the second, third and fourth number changing.
The first number defines the network IP address (all machines must belong to the same IP
54
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
network), while the last three numbers denote the host IP address (each computer must have a
unique address to distinguish it on the network). The IP address scheme used in Example #1 can
be used for any LAN that requires up to 253 separate IP addresses (excluding the Router). Notice
that the subnet mask is the same for all machines and the default gateway address is the LAN IP
address of the Router.
It is a good idea to make a note of each device’s IP address for reference during troubleshooting or
when adding new stations or devices.
Using DHCP
The second way to use the default settings is to allow the Router to automatically assign IP settings
for workstation using DHCP. To do this, simply make sure your computers’ IP addresses are set to
0.0.0.0 (under Windows, choose the option Obtain an IP address automatically in the TCP/IP
network component described above). When the computers are restarted, their IP settings will
automatically be assigned by the Router. The Router is set by default to use DHCP. See the
discussion in Chapter 3 for information on how to use configure the Router for DHCP.
Changing the IP Address of the Router
When planning your LAN IP address setup, you may use any scheme allowed by rules that govern
IP assignment. It may be more convenient or easier to remember an IP scheme that use a different
address for the Router. Or you may be installing the Router on a network that has already
established the IP settings. Changing the IP address is a simple matter and can be done using the
web manager (see LAN IP Address in Chapter 5). If you are incorporating the Router into a LAN
with an existing IP structure, be sure to disable the DHCP function. Also, consider the effects of
NAT (Network Address Translation). This is enabled by default but may be disabled in the NAT
menu of the Advanced directory.
An IP addressing scheme commonly used for Ethernet LANs establishes 10.0.0.1 as the base
address for the network. Using Example #2 below, the Router is assigned the base address
10.0.0.1 and the remaining addresses are assigned manually or using DHCP.

These two examples are only examples you can use to help you get started. Other common private
network IP addressing schemes use a base address of 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. If you are
interested in more advanced information on how to use IP addressing on a LAN there are numerous
resources freely available on the Internet. There are also many books and chapters of books on the
subject of IP address assignment, IP networking and the TCP/IP protocol suite.

IP Concepts
This appendix describes some basic IP concepts, the TCP/IP addressing scheme and shows how to
assign IP Addresses.
When setting up the Router, you must make sure it has a valid IP address. Even if you will not use
the WAN port (ADSL port), you should, at the very least, make sure the Ethernet LAN port is
assigned a valid IP address. This is required for telnet, in-band SNMP management, and related
functions such as “trap” handling and TFTP firmware download.
IP Addresses
The Internet Protocol (IP) was designed for routing data between network sites all over the world,
and was later adapted for routing data between networks within any site (often referred to as
“subnetworks” or “subnets”). IP includes a system by which a unique number can be assigned to
each of the millions of networks and each of the computers on those networks. Such a number is
called an IP address.
To make IP addresses easy to understand, the originators of IP adopted a system of representation
called “dotted decimal” or “dotted quad” notation. Below are examples of IP addresses written in
this format:
201.202.203.204
189.21.241.56
125.87.0.1
Each of the four values in an IP address is the ordinary decimal (base 10) representation of a value
that a computer can handle using eight “bits” (binary digits — 1s and 0s). The dots are simply
convenient visual separators.
Zeros are often used as placeholders in dotted decimal notation; 189.21.241.56 can therefore also
appear as 189.021.241.056.
IP networks are divided into three classes on the basis of size. A full IP address contains a network
portion and a “host” (device) portion. The network and host portions of the address are different
lengths for different classes of networks, as shown in the table below.
56
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
Networks attached to the Internet are assigned class types that determine the maximum number
of possible hosts per network. The previous figure illustrates how the net and host portions of the
IP address differ among the three classes. Class A is assigned to networks that have more than
65,535 hosts; Class B is for networks that have 256 to 65534 hosts; Class C is for networks with
less than 256 hosts.
IP Network Classes
Class

of Networks in
Class
Network Addresses (Host
Portion in Parenthesis)
Maximum Number of
Hosts per Network
A

1(.0.0.0) to 126(.0.0.0)
16,777,214
B
16,382
128.1(.0.0) to 191.254(.0.0)
65,534
C
2,097,150
192.0.1(.0) to 223.255.254(.0)
254
Note:
All network addresses outside of these ranges (Class D and E) are either reserved or set
aside for experimental networks or multicasting.
When an IP address's host portion contains only zero(s), the address identifies a network and not a
host. No physical device may be given such an address.
The network portion must start with a value from 1 to 126 or from 128 to 223. Any other value(s)
in the network portion may be from 0 to 255, except that in class B the network addresses
128.0.0.0 and 191.255.0.0 are reserved, and in class C the network addresses 192.0.0.0 and
223.255.255.0 are reserved.
The value(s) in the host portion of a physical device's IP address can be in the range of 0 through
255 as long as this portion is not all-0 or all-255. Values outside the range of 0 to 255 can never
appear in an IP address (0 to 255 is the full range of integer values that can be expressed with
eight bits).
The network portion must be the same for all the IP devices on a discrete physical network (a
single Ethernet LAN, for example, or a WAN link). The host portion must be different for each IP
device — or, to be more precise, each IP-capable port or interface — connected directly to that
network.
The network portion of an IP address will be referred to in this manual as a network number; the
host portion will be referred to as a host number.
To connect to the Internet or to any private IP network that uses an Internet-assigned network
number, you must obtain a registered IP network number from an Internet-authorized network
information center. In many countries you must apply through a government agency, however they
can usually be obtained from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If your organization's networks are, and will always remain, a closed system with no connection to
the Internet or to any other IP network, you can choose your own network numbers as long as
they conform to the above rules.
If your networks are isolated from the Internet, e.g. only between your two branch offices, you can
assign any IP Addresses to hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP Addresses specifically for private (stub)
networks:
Class
Beginning Address
Ending Address
A
10.0.0.0
10.255.255.255
B
172.16.0.0
172.31.255.255
C
192.168.0.0
192.168.255.255
57
DSL-502T ADSL Router User’s Guide
It is recommended that you choose private network IP Addresses from the above list. For more
information on address assignment, refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and
RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
Subnet Mask
In the absence of subnetworks, standard TCP/IP addressing may be used by specifying subnet
masks as shown below.
IP Class
Subnet Mask
Class A
255.0.0.0
Class B
255.255.0.0
Class C
255.255.255.0
Subnet mask settings other than those listed above add significance to the interpretation of bits in
the IP address. The bits of the subnet mask correspond directly to the bits of the IP address. Any
bit an a subnet mask that is to correspond to a net ID bit in the IP address must be set to 1.

Microfilters and Splitters
Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from
interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters
or sometimes called (inaccurately) line splitters. They are easy to install and use standard
telephone connectors and cable.
Some ADSL service providers will send a telecommunications technician to modify the telephone
line, usually at the point where the telephone line enters the building. If a technician has divided or
split your telephone line into two separate lines - one for regular telephone service and the other
for ADSL – then you do not need to use any type of filter device. Follow the instructions given to
you by your ADSL service provider about where and how you should connect the Router to the
ADSL line.
Microfilters
Unless you are instructed to use a “line splitter” (see below), it will be necessary to install a
microfilter (low pass filter) device for each telephone or telephone device (answering machines,
Faxes etc.) that shares the line with the ADSL service. Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line
devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack. Microfilters that
install behind the wall plate are also available. A typical in-line microfilter installation is shown in
the diagram below.
Microfilter Installation
Note
Do not install the microfilter between the Router and the telephone jack. Microfilters
are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other regular
telephone devices.

Line Splitter
If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between the Router and the
phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three
RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Router and if desired, a telephone or telephone
device. The connection ports are typically labeled as follows:
Line - This port connects to the wall jack.
ADSL – This port connects to the Router.
Phone – This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.
The diagram below illustrates the proper use of the splitter.
